Scaresville - The Haunted Village Reviews Summary

Event Organization

Pros:

• "The set up was amazing and very detailed and the actors were so passionate."
• "We got there early, had some food, then checked in, got our wristbands and didn't have to wait long to go through."
• "I felt it was very good value - it went on for nearly 1 1/2 hrs."

Cons:

• "The setup could be massively improved, by the time you go through the marquee and check in you have no time to get food."
• "Lack of communication with event staff and lack of Signage left our group many times confused which direction to be heading."
• "The entrance with the entertainment outside as you wait has basically gone with no crazy characters walking around either."
• "An enjoyable walk through but it’s disappointing when you’re at the back of the group the whole time."
• "The waiting around was a joke and you could see what was going on before you even got there."

Scare Factor and Actors

Pros:

• "Lots of scares but a lot of laughs."
• "The amount of detail put into these events is amazing. Lots of screams and jumps and laughs."
• "I was able to admire the large and small topiary at dusk."
• "I don’t understand why it's getting one star reviews, as we spent all night screaming!!"

Cons:

• "There were lots of empty rooms with 0 actors and we were so close to the group in front that you could already see what was going to happen."
• "There was hardly any actors and just a lot of empty rooms."
• "We found that the previous years fun fair style entrance had gone and been replaced with just overpriced catering units."
• "Just a bit more input from the designers and investment on some scare zones would stop all the negativity posted."
• "The group size they put us in was too large so the people at the back didn’t get any scares or knew where they were going to be."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "We booked a cheaper slot and I'd say that price is worth it."
• "I absolutely loved it! Maybe I'm easy to please and easy to scare but I thought it was fantastic, the scenery was great and the scares were fun."

Cons:

• "This has the potential to be awesome but it definitely wasn’t. We had a few laughs, but for the money, we definitely don’t recommend."
• "It's very expensive for the amount of waiting around you do."
• "For me, there were prime locations where I'd have lied in wait to jump out at people but alas, there was no one there."
• "Don’t waste your money! Not enough scarers with long gaps in between each interaction."
• "The event is also majorly overpriced for what it is, tickets should be £20pp max."
• "For £30 a ticket it’s massively overpriced, although the actors looked great, there was very few actors on the night."
